VICTORIA – The Province is giving $300,000 to the Northwest B.C. Resource Benefits Alliance (RBA) to enhance economic development in the region.
“We believe that people should benefit from the prosperity generated by their hard work, and the resources of the regions where they live. I applaud the efforts of the RBA to strengthen their local economies,” said Premier John Horgan. “We are committed to working with Northwest communities as they work to help stabilize their economy over the long term.” The government also says that the funding will help the RBA build relationships with First Nations, labour, major project proponents, local business and the non-profit sector.
Originally formed in 2014, the RBA represents 21 communities from Vanderhoof to Masset to promote their infrastructure needs.
“The RBA shares the government’s vision of economic development that creates good local jobs and sustainable communities,” said RBA chair Bill Miller.
